As we were preparing to leave for an afternoon of sightseeing in Montgomery, guess who showed up?
Yes, our little stray survived the cold Alabama night and came wandering back to our site. We gave her a bit of food, which she devoured, snapped a picture or two and loaded her into one of our cat crates. We put a call into the Montgomery Humane Society to confirm that they would take her. Then, we were on our way.
Hope and Paul had become buddies. There was no doubt about it - they bonded. So, when it came time to surrender the furbaby she yelped louder and he got a bit choked up. I just kept telling myself that with two adult cats in our 300 square foot home on wheels we were at our limit! We signed the necessary papers and made a small donation to the cause.
It's supposed to be another cold one tonight. We're so happy that Hope is warm, dry and cared for. Here's hoping she is adopted soon to a wonderful family that will feel lucky to have her. We'll never know, of course. But, that's the way we're choosing to write this story: with a happy ending.
Tomorrow we're heading out for somewhere in Georgia. More then!

well, you did the best thing. She will be fixed before being adopted, and save the world of 475,000 more, possibly homeless, cats in the next ten years.
We had to call Animal Control to take a very sweet stray tabby tom cat today. We have enough animals and vet bills around here, and to take in another one, would be foolish. We also hope that Tabby Tom gets a new loving 'forever' home.
